Is your flexibility training making you weaker?

It is well known that stretching decreases strength, but do all flexibility exercises have this effect?

How can you increase your flexibility without getting weaker, and do so in ways that actually makes you stronger?

On this week’s episode of the  Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out the #1 thing you can do to increase your strength as you improve your flexibility.

Stretching does NOT have to leave you weak, vulnerable to injury, and feeling tighter. In fact, there is a simple switch you can make while doing your stretching that will change all of this for you.

Check out all the details in this week’s episode!
